Ramkot - Nowhere To Go⎟Official Video

Ramkot shares its brand new video clip for 'Nowhere To Go', the opening track of their latest album 'Rosa'. A song about loneliness and feeling out of place. The singing in the song gives the listener an uneasy, disorientated feeling. The band teamed up with director Reina Rasti and took this feeling as the premise for their music video. The end result is a 'trip down the rabbit hole' and ode to some of the band's favorite films and directors.

For the video the band worked together with Reina Rasti, a Belgian-Iranian director and writer who recently made clips for Douglas Firs, Oproer, Rhea and a short docu for Oscar & The Wolf.  The song is about alienation and the loneliness that comes with the eternal search of belonging somewhere. So, Reina started by writing an Alice in Wonderland inspired story, in which the main characters were to be played by the band themselves. Soon enough she and the band discovered that they share a love for certain movies and directors. They decided to make the music video a real visual ode to them. From camera lenses to costumes and casting, it all got inspired by movies like Clerks, Clockwork Orange, The Big Lebowski, Paris Texas, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, Fargo, Habla Con Ella and One flew over the Cuckoo's Nest.

Combined with the editor who did a very funky and cool job, the colourist who added a touch of Fallen Angels to the grade and a VFX-artist who - for example - changed the Waze-app into a Daze-app with the Ramkot logo instead, they're pretty stoked about how it turned out.

More about Rosa
For their second album, brothers Tim and Tom Leyman and Hannes Cuyvers spent three weeks in the US working on this new record, following in the footsteps of their musical heroes and even using some of their instruments. They resided in the famous Rancho De La Luna with producer Alain Johannes (Queens Of The Stone Age, Arctic Monkeys, Eagles Of Death Metal...).
